I get offended by blonde jokes. They're not funny at all.

Especially, after hearing them over and over again from people who think they're being "clever".  In addition, I don't know how many times people have told me to prove that I'm a real blonde.  Like they can't tell from my eyebrows.  Duh, really funny and so original.  I've never heard that one before.

We blondes do have to overcome the stereotype.  People think we're stupid or promiscuous just because we're blonde.  Scoff all you want to, but it's true.  No, we don't have it as tough as minorities do at all, but nobody ever takes us seriously either.  I'd give examples of real life discrimination and harrassment in the workplace, but why bother?  Everyone just thinks they're being funny or clever.

their true feelings show.  I don't think the dumb-a$$ male is all that funny and I guess it's because most males I know are pretty smart so of course I wouldn't post "jokes" like the OP.  That's why I think OP did not really respect men and found humerous truth in the "joke."

My son is still basically a non meat eater too unless it is bacon or pepperoni on a pizza.  He hates steak, pork chops and chicken.  He will eat hamburger in tacos, spaghetti and hamburger helper, but the only actual "hamburger" that he will eat is McDonalds. Breakfast at McDonalds is "bacon, egg and cheese biscuit - hold the egg please" and the only vegetables that he will even look at are green beans or peas.  He loves ham and cheese hot pockets, but not cold ham and cheese between 2 slices of bread.

This is the real kicker. . . . when he gets his braces tightened, he wants nothing but his very own can of Campbells PEA SOUP!.

to usually fit the threads here.....but email me anytime - just click on the email thingy when you post to me :)  I DO email *lol*

Yeah, eTime does keep me more together and putting in more hours....*grins*  I only work for them PT.

Thanks for what you said about my post - if I was going to call someone that, I would've spelled DUMB and I would've not called them DUMB but voiced an opinion that I thought they were DUMB.  I was merely being dramatic, like you said.....and starting with a dum-de-dum-dum-DA or DUM, I forget how I ended that......

I now think that poster didn't know what eTime was nor worked for our national but who knows?  I'm certainly not sure.  *l*

Email me - and we'll do email :)  Perhaps we even live in the same state....*giggles*

Be well, sugar!!  :)

At first the box stuff worked pretty good. Now I have a huge "skunk stripe" on the left side of my forehead and I'm starting to grow another "skunk stripe" on the left side.

After a while the box stuff only calms down the different texture of the white stuff for a few weeks so if you wear a few bangs, you need to cut them to match after dying. 3 weeks later the bangs with the white stuff are suddenly a good half inch shorter again.

Needless to say, for the time being I have the "off the forehead"  look that makes my head look like two breakdown lanes on a highway.

I'm saving my money. The initial shock for the "makeover" is scary, but my 2 sisters told me to go for it as the upkeep isn't too bad at all. They would both be snow white in their late 40's if it weren't for visits to the salon.

I'm headed in the same direction and I'm early 40's. My husband, who went white by 38, told me to just go natural.

I told him to kiss my natural behind.

Waste of time to MT's. I think the supervisor should use more discretion in the use of company email. !

Had a mailbox full of jokes from supervior TODAY !

I agree that this is improper use of email, especially by our superiors !

My imail keeps telling me that I am 98% full, and need to delete messages without jokes being sent to fill up my mailbox, too. What would happen if all of us MQ MT's began sending out jokes via MQ COMPANY EMAIL. I don't think that would set well with MGMT ! We just don't have time to read jokes via company email. We are struggling to get in our lines in order to pay our light bills, etc.

Personally, I would prefer to only receive WORK-RELATED emails from my supervisor. I would prefer to read the jokes on my own time and of a subject of which I choose to read jokes about. It is just not what I want to do when I sit down to work -- read JOKES in emails from my supervisor.

This has been an issue before.  No exceptions.

Thank you.

Have you checked into seeing what is required of someone to become a fellow of the AAMT?  It is a lot of work, believe you me.  And, it is not just the education--it's community service, holding offices in the organization, as well as the continuing education part of it. 

I work for a surgeon who is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons.  It works basically the same way---they have to prove that they have completed so much continuing education, hold offices in organizations, community-type services, etc.

Basically, just being a "fellow" just means that you've gone above and beyond what an ordinary person in your organization does.  Honestly, I think it is an honor; a matter of distinction, even if it is just AAMT.  It just sets yourself apart from everyone else; says that you are a hard worker.

 That was not my intention and I see in another thread you defended my post about eTime....da DE dum dum is what I said about the web clock question.  So I want to thank you for the defense....on the eTime and apologize if I insulted you about the gift-giving recognition for MT Week.....

Have a nice weekend!!! 

your situation, I would agree with MT2RN above that maybe she is being enabled to behave the way she behaves.  She is getting exactly the reaction she wants.  It's hard to do, but if she refuses to get help from trained professionals, then you shouldn't be there to take care of her.  My ex-husband refused and I stayed for a long time, taking care of him.  He had employment issues and drinking issues and spending issues and legal issues and I just enabled him.  I made the money and cleaned up his messes, paid off his debts, bailed him out of jail.  It is an endless cycle that can only be broken by the stable person saying "I won't help you anymore, unless you help yourself first." 

Again I apologize for offending you.  My initial post was in response to your post chronicling what seemed to me to be depression without mania and you made no mention of her being diagnosed as bipolar, so I just simply was curious.  I thank you for clarifying and I wish you well.  It's really tough situation to be in.
